ANTHONY PILKINGTON insists Norwich’s only aim this season remains Premier League survival despite the Canaries moving up to ninth with a comfortable 2-0 win over Bolton.

Norwich were favourites to finish this season – their first in the top flight for six years – as the league’s bottom club, but they have defied all expectations and sit in the top half of the division following Saturday’s win.

Pilkington, though, said: “Our plan at the start of the season was to survive and we are not looking away from that because if you take your eye off it then you start doing things you are not supposed to do.

“This season has always been about survival and then next season building on that. We’re 13 points from the bottom three. It’s a lovely gap but we are not going to get carried away.”
